I was adapting a quilt pattern called Ocean Waves for beadwork. Peyote/brick stitch, which I usually design in, just wasn't working, so I switched to loom/square. Needless to say Ocean Waves didn't happen, but this facsimile of a Dutch windmill gradually emerged and was tweaked to this pattern.
The three repeats shown measure 6.3 inches long. You can add partial repeats or solid color on each end to make it longer if desired.
I hope you enjoy working this design.

I can't say I have a favorite stitch or type of bead, but lately I've been experimenting with the new Twin beads and Super Duos.
Next on my to-do list is design some items with Cubic Right Angle Weave with the Twins. It works in my head, now to put thread and beads to it.
